Your daughter's strategy

At this time, the capital was also in chaos. Wang Heng led the soldiers and horses of the five cities to surround the people with official positions in the capital. It's easy, but it doesn't prevent those people from dispatching servants and guards to take the initiative to attack and resist desperately, which caught the Wucheng soldiers and horses by surprise.

Like the Xie family of the Tang family, there are at least a hundred guards with good skills in the family. They first deal with the people in front of their own house, and then support them from left to right.

Wang Heng could manage one place but could not manage three or four places, so he had to give up the siege of these houses, and concentrated his troops in Kang Wang's Mansion and Xu's house, but the soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi retreated, but the family guards were chasing after them. Regardless of each other, no matter which family's guards they are, they will work together to pursue the soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi in one place, which will cause the people of Wucheng Bingmasi to suffer a big loss.

Over there, Wang Heng personally took people to Kang Wang's mansion, but Kang Wang's mansion was empty except for some servants who were in charge. Neither Princess Kang nor the two county kings were seen. Wang Heng was in a hurry. His main purpose was to catch the two princes. A county king can be used as a hostage in an emergency, but now that he is gone, his mission has not been completed, which is good.

After spending nothing in Kang Wang's mansion, he quickly went to Xu's mansion. As a result, not only the master of Xu's mansion disappeared, but even the servants who served him disappeared. The empty house was silent, as if mocking silently.

Wang Heng's head was as big as a bucket, and he led people back and forth to search three times, but there was no one.He guessed that the Xu family might have a secret passage or something, but time was precious.There was no time to search carefully, and there were hundreds of guards chasing after him, so he couldn't allow him to search carefully.

Wang Heng became more and more impatient, and took people to the Xie family and the Tang family. The two masters were there, but the guards were also the most powerful. Don't talk about rushing in to arrest people, they even rushed out to lead Wang Heng. The team playing scattered.

Even though Wang Heng is highly skilled in martial arts, he has outstanding commanding ability.But they couldn't resist the guards who were desperately rushing to kill at the end of the road.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and give up, leading the rest of the people to the gate of the palace, secretly hoping that King Duan had grasped the overall situation and could come out to make an idea.If the fight continues in this way, it is estimated that the soldiers he leads will all die before he dies.

But there was silence at the gate of the palace, not even a guard guarding the city.

Wang Heng was very suspicious, afraid of being cheated, he hesitated.But the team of guards from various families in the back held up weapons and torches and shouted to kill, and Wang Heng couldn't help it.Gritting his teeth, he led the people into the palace, closed the gate of the palace to temporarily resist the attack from outside.

Those guards stopped, but they didn't leave either. They used the nearby houses as a cover to stare at them, causing Wang Heng a big headache.On the one hand, he ordered people to guard the city gate, and on the other hand, he ordered people to find King Duan for information.

Xu Run'an rode a horse and led the guards of the Xu family to meet Zhang Sa and Tang Yiran on Suzaku Street. These two also brought a lot of people.All look serious.

Xu Run'an said: "Wang Heng has already entered the palace. Let's divide into three groups. Brother Zhang is familiar with the people from the three battalions. He is responsible for the rescue. Yiran goes to the palace, and I go to guard the gate of the city."

Tang Yiran was a little worried. The city gate was the most dangerous place, so he couldn't help saying, "Brother Xu, be careful."

Xu Run'an nodded, and led people to the east gate. The three gates of the west city, the south city and the north city had already been guarded by Xie Yushu and Tang Xu respectively. On the road leading to the northwest, what Wang Heng brought was only the soldiers and horses of the five cities, as well as the brigade of soldiers and horses from the Jingwei command department. If they entered the city, I am afraid that the capital would really be over.

When Yue Li arrived at the east gate with the commander of the Jingwei Commander, he saw such a scene, the gate was closed, but there were a dozen soldiers standing symbolically on the tower. People stepped forward and shouted: "I am Shichuan, Hebei Ying, and I am here to serve the king by the emperor's order!"

Immediately someone answered at the city gate: "It turns out that it is General Shi. The emperor has ordered you to enter the city quickly, and there must be no mistakes!"

Yue Li's expression changed drastically, and the lieutenant beside him immediately came over: "How could it be the emperor's order? My lord, do you think there is fraud?"

Yue Li sneered: "Impossible! Concubine An and the prince cooperated internally and externally to instigate the rebellion of the palace maids and eunuchs. The emperor himself could not protect himself. He wanted to give the order, but no one gave him the order. This must be because he was afraid that we would attack the city and said so on purpose."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the gate of the city slowly opened. Although no one came out to greet him, someone shouted from the tower: "General Shi, please enter the city quickly!"

Yue Li sank, suddenly a little uncertain about the truth, he felt that the people shouting on the tower said they were letting them enter the city, but their tone was sarcasm, as if they were saying hurry up and let us catch a turtle in a jar.

If it was said that he still had the vigor to enter the city just now, now Yue Li was full of hesitation. He ordered to stay still and wait and see what happened, but the people at the city gate became more anxious and ordered Yue Li to enter quickly. City, the more he yelled, the more Yue Li hesitated, and the two sides fell into a confrontation.

At this time, Wang Heng was also having a hard time. He finally got rid of the pursuit from outside and led his troops to search the palace, but he was surrounded by hundreds of court ladies and eunuchs. , A burst of ** is enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Wang Heng couldn't help shouting: "I am under Prince Duan, you have delayed my work for Prince Duan, be careful with your heads!"

But those court ladies and eunuchs were not afraid, instead they became more and more brave. A group of people gathered around and grabbed each of them, punched and kicked them one by one, and soon drove Wang Heng to a corner. The rest still rushed forward without fear of death.

These people are all ordered by Princess Taining to stop the rebels. Everyone can see clearly that King Duan is dead. Even if the rebels win, no one will fulfill their promise to them, but Princess Taining is there, and they are on the same path In the dark, it is better to follow Princess Taining, as long as you stop the rebels, you also want to be an official and an official, and you want to go home!

The palace was in chaos, the corpses piled up higher and higher, almost blood flowed like a river, but the east gate became more and more silent, Yue Li sent people to look at the west gate, the south gate and the north gate respectively, and the gates were also closed tightly.Only a few guards also yelled for Shi Chuan to enter the city quickly.

This time, Yue Li became more and more sure that there was a deceit in it, until the sky was dark, and the five thousand dead soldiers who were supposed to come to the rescue did not arrive, Yue Li was also afraid that King Duan was waiting for him in the city, so he delayed Hesitating would delay things, so he gritted his teeth and ordered to enter the city.

But as soon as the team entered the city, the city gate was quickly closed.Guns and cannons rang out from the high city gate, and someone shouted in panic, "It's the Shenji Battalion!"

Yue Li's heart sank, knowing that he had been tricked, since the Shenji Battalion had come, the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion must also be there, this time it was doomed!

Just when everyone is waiting to die in despair.But the guns stopped, and someone shouted: "King Duan committed a rebellion, intending to rebel, and has been killed. The Jingwei camp was supposed to protect the safety of the emperor and the capital, but was bewitched by the rebels. The rebels are dead. You continue to resist!" It's a dead end. If you put down your weapons, the emperor may still be able to make a difference based on the past friendship, whether it is life or death, you should think about it!"

The news of King Duan's death made everyone feel as if they were struck by lightning. They couldn't believe it was true. If King Duan died, what's the use of their rebellion?

Soon someone asked loudly: "Is it true that King Duan is dead?"

The voice sneered and said: "The emperor is wise and wise. He has long been aware of King Duan's rebellion, and he has dealt with it long ago. King Duan entrusted his father to enter the palace alone, but was stabbed to death by the emperor's sword. Now Wang Heng's soldiers and horses have also been captured without a fight. , if you are looking for your own death, then don’t blame the emperor for being cruel! Rebellion is a death penalty for the nine clans, you are not afraid of death, are you not afraid of hurting your wife and children at home?”

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar.

It is true that if you succeed in rebellion, you will be prosperous and rich, but if you fail from the merits of the dragon, it will be a great crime against the nine clans. Regardless of whether King Duan is dead or not, the gunshots from the Shenji Camp cannot be faked. If they rushed forward desperately, they might not be able to reach the elite of the three battalions. When King Qin's army arrived, they would have no way out!

Slowly, the first one to lay down his arms was followed by the second, and the third. We are all ordinary people, with parents, wives and children, who dared to rebel for the sake of wealth, and now even their lives are at stake. If not, what's the use of being rich?

In the gradually brightening sky, under the high city gate, there were tall figures standing tall. Only then did Xu Run'an truly breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly sighed at the ingenuity of Xu Peining's strategy.

The emperor trusted King Duan, and the Commander of the Jingwei and the soldiers and horses of the five cities were all handed over to King Duan. Although the Jinwu Guard and the three major battalions were not in the hands of King Duan, they had King Duan's confidants, and King Duan's plan was perfect. up.

First secretly put down the Jinwu Guard and the three major battalions, and then instigated the rebellion of the palace maids and eunuchs through Concubine An. At that time, the palace will be in the hands of King Duan, and Wang Heng will take the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingmasi to the capital. Blockade, when Yue Li arrives with the people from the Jingwei Command Department, the entire capital will be in the hands of King Duan.

Although Xu Peining didn't know the specific strategy of King Duan, she also knew the key points. Together with the Tang family and the Xie family with guards, Wang Heng was driven into the palace, and four city gates were occupied to stage an empty city plan. Delayed Yue Li, so that Yue Li did not dare to enter the city.

When the people from the three battalions arrive, it's fine if Yue Li doesn't enter the city. Once he enters the city, he will be punished. When King Qin's soldiers arrive, even if King Duan occupies the palace, he will not be able to succeed.

But what was unexpected was that King Duan died, which made things easier. Who was the most important person in the rebellion? It was King Duan.

King Duan is dead, so why rebel? At this time, everyone wanted to protect themselves, and as long as they threatened and lured them, they would be captured obediently.

Commander Guan Qing looked at Xu Run'an with admiration, "Master Xu is really alive like Zhuge, relying on dozens of servants to scare Yue Li, it's really a good skill."

Xu Run'an cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It depends on Master Guan arriving in time, otherwise, if Yue Li becomes suspicious, we will all be ruined. I have to thank you for saving my life." Seeing his humility, Guan Qing liked him more and more. He ordered people to guard the city gate, and at the same time led people to the palace for support.

What made them dumbfounded was that the victory and defeat in the palace had already been divided, Wang Heng had long been chopped into meat sauce, and the soldiers from Wucheng Bingmasi who he brought with him couldn't resist the crazy maids and eunuchs. I can no longer stand up.

The palace was full of soldiers and the corpses of maids and eunuchs. There were no rebels, but there were four or five young eunuchs guarding them. When they saw Xu Runan and Guan Qing, they hurriedly said, "But Xu Runan, Master Xu? Just now, Young Master Zhang and Young Master Tang have entered the palace." gone."

Xu Run'an smiled and said, "They're quite agile." Then he followed the eunuch all the way to Chengde Hall.

Chengde Hall is considered to be a relatively clean place in the palace, empress.Concubine Zheng Xiang, Prince Rui's son Dong Yu, Prince Lian, Concubine Zheng Xiang, Yang Minzhi, and Tai Ning were all present, and everyone looked serious. When Xu Run'an and Guan Qing came in, Guan Qing kowtowed and confessed: "I am careless. I let the villain take advantage of the loophole." , Rescue came late, please forgive me by the emperor and queen."

The queen cheered up and said in a warm voice: "Master Guan, don't blame yourself. The incident happened suddenly, and he couldn't be prepared. Please trouble Mr. Guan to lead people to defend the capital. We don't know how many rebels are there yet, so it's better to be more prepared." Guan Qingshen The voice should be, go to work yourself.

Yang Minzhi looked at Xu Run'an and said, "The emperor has passed away."

Xu Run'an was taken aback: "When did this happen?"

Princess Taining couldn't help crying: "Just now, father woke up, and left without saying a word."

Xu Run'an looked around and said nervously, "Where's Miaoyun?"

Yang Minzhi said: "Miss Xu is fine. But she fainted and rested in the back hall." He paused.Said: "Now that the emperor is dead, who should take charge of the affairs of the capital?"

Xu Run'an also paused. If the emperor is here, how to punish the rebels and how to deal with them is naturally up to the emperor, but the emperor has gone.There is no crown prince, and King Kang is far away in the northwest.King Duan is dead, and King Ancheng is the eldest grandson, but he is also in the northwest, so it becomes a problem who is in charge of the house. The queen has the final say on the affairs in the palace, so how to deal with the affairs outside is the problem, and in the end The important thing is that the news of the emperor's death cannot be announced now, otherwise the capital will inevitably fall into panic, and it is very likely that people with ulterior motives will find an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Xu Run'an looked at Dong Yu, the heir of King Rui. Dong Yu stood at the back, obviously not intending to stand out. Xu Run'an looked at King Lian again. King Lian lowered his head and didn't say a word. Xu Run'an also knew his identity and didn't speak. Concubine Zheng Xiang said, "The emperor has gone up. Dong Lian is the second son. If he comes forward, it will be justified. Why don't we leave the matter to Dong Lian."

The queen didn't make a sound, what if King Lian Guan was compliant and he was reluctant to let go when King Kang came back?She didn't want to take another chance.

Everyone didn't agree, and Concubine Zheng Xiang became anxious immediately, and her voice became sharp: "Dong Lian is the emperor's second son, empress empress, what do you mean?"

The queen said: "This matter is related to the country, and I dare not speak in vain."

Concubine Zheng Xiang was upset, and wanted to speak but was held back by King Lian.

Seeing this, Yang Minzhi said: "I think there are two people who are most suitable."

The Queen hurriedly said, "Tell me about it."

Yang Minzhi said: "Princess Taining is the eldest daughter of the emperor. Now that the emperor is going to die, she is the eldest princess. It is most suitable for the eldest princess to be the director. The other person is Miss Xu. She has a relationship with King Ancheng. Marriage contract, when Lord Kang comes back, she will be the rightful princess, and the presence of the two of them is enough to convince everyone."

The queen immediately understood what Yang Minzhi meant. First of all, Taining came out as the eldest princess, and Xu Miaoyun came out as the crown princess, which confirmed the fact that King Kang succeeded to the throne. Moreover, both of them were women, so they would not appear What about usurping power, and there have been incidents in history where the eldest princess governed, so the name is justified, and no one will suspect it.

The queen immediately made a decision: "Then it's settled..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Concubine Zheng Xiang's sharp voice: "Taining is fine, what is Xu Miaoyun, besides, she has already broken off her engagement with Bo Rang! She is not qualified."

The queen said displeased: "Everyone knows that the emperor said that the dissolution of the engagement was just an angry word. Besides, the marriage between Xu Miaoyun and Bo Rang was made by clear decree at the beginning. If it is to be dissolved, the emperor must personally issue an order to announce it to the world. Does it mean that Is it lifted?"

Concubine Zheng Xiang looked at Xu Run'an bitterly, but Xu Run'an remembered Xu Jinghuan's instructions before leaving Beijing, unless the king of Ancheng County was present in person, and the three media and six hires formally proposed marriage, otherwise the relationship between Xu Miaoyun and the king of Ancheng County must not be recognized, so Said: "What the concubine Xiang said is that although the marriage contract between Miaoyun and the county king has not been officially announced, most people in the capital know that it is better to ask the princess to take full responsibility than to lie to her ears."

The queen was a little surprised, pondered for a moment, then looked at Taining: "Taining, can you do it alone?"

Taining's eyes were red and swollen, her life changed drastically in an instant, her father who loved her the most passed away again, she couldn't accept the reality at all, but at this moment, how could she be sad?She is a princess, and she has to take on the responsibility of being a princess, to be a princess that makes her father proud.

Taining nodded, and the empress breathed a sigh of relief, and began to assign things: "Concubine Yu went to take care of the queen mother, Concubine Xiang followed Bengong to clean up the palace, Yang Minzhi, Zhang Sa and Tang Yiran followed Taining to meet the people from the three camps Yang Minzhi, you have to worry more about the matter, you can't announce the emperor's death, just say that he is seriously ill, and leave the matter to the princess."

With that said, the queen looked at Dong Yu again: "You and Dong Lian go out of the palace to appease the people in the capital, and let them wait in peace, don't worry."

Everyone agreed, and the queen left Xu Run'an alone to speak after each of them got their errands. The queen looked a little hesitant: "Do you know how King Duan died?" Xu Run'an was taken aback, shook his head subconsciously, and the queen sighed : "It's Miaoyun."

She took out the dagger wrapped in a handkerchief and handed it to Xu Run'an: "This is something from the Xu family, you put it away, don't let people see the flaws, just say to the outside world that the emperor stabbed King Duan to death with a sword, Got mad at him again."

Xu Run'an opened his mouth wide, unable to help himself in astonishment.

Miaoyun, killed King Duan?

Xu Run'an's face became heavy, he took the dagger, and the queen looked at him thoughtfully: "You have to comfort Miaoyun well, don't let her slip up, otherwise even Bengong can't save her. "

Xu Runan's expression changed drastically. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
